European Commission marks 85th anniversary of Soviet mass deportations

The European Parliament hosted a ceremony in Brussels to commemorate the 85th anniversary of the Soviet Union's mass deportations. This event honored the memory of the Estonians, Latvians, and Lithuanians who were forcibly sent to Siberia and Kazakhstan. Tens of thousands of individuals were subjected to these deportations during the Soviet era. The ceremony served as a moment of remembrance for the victims and the historical injustices they endured.

This commemoration highlights the enduring impact of historical human rights abuses and serves as a reminder of the importance of national sovereignty and freedom.
